Use (Terminal) Global Variables in each indicator that you desire to toggle on and off

The toggles can be set via scripts of buttons etc

//Toggle Script
int     value;
string  ToggleScript = "ToggleScript"; 

int OnStart()
{ 
   if(MathRound(GlobalVariableGet(ToggleScript))==0) value=1;
   else value=0;
   GlobalVariableSet(ToggleScript,value);
   Print("Toggle is  ",value);   
}

Simply said it's not possible. Best thing to do is to use templates.

It is possible to toggle on and off Custom indicators

Modifying the code of each indicators is not a solution in my opinion. And what can be the advantage to use a GlobalVariable compared to templates ?

Keep it simple.

I use Templates for such requirements, although sometimes I merely desire to remove one custom indicator from a chart.

I such cases I use a hotkey to toggle a script that sets a variable to 0 or 1

simple matter to place

if(toggle==0) // then "find and delete indicator objects and return(0)"

so the script still runs, although is is interrupted.

Reason is that in some cases multiple templates can be difficult to manage/maintain.

 

That's a shame, I thought i could do it with templates but if i have specific analysis elements for example; lines or arrows etc.. they would need to be created in each chart exactly so, too time consuming to be of use.

The way I would hope it could work is in layers so that I can turn on an off the elements that I need.

 
Have a button and then assigned it so that once click will hide the indi and click again will show the indi. I do it and works pretty well.

Ctrl+I then Delete the unneeded indicator(s). Place your usual indicator(s) in Favorites, then simply drag it to a chart when needed.
 
Why don't they create toggle show/hide eyes like investing.com and tradingview?
